Celebrate the LGBTQ+ community with Pride!

ROC Pride Collective is a community-based coalition dedicated to celebrating LGBTQ+ Pride in the Greater Rochester area! The group was formed in July 2021 in response to the community’s desire to see the Pride Parade return after a two-year absence. The Pride Collective includes volunteers from the LGBTQ+ community and representatives from nonprofits. Money raised by the ROC Pride Collective supports Pride events throughout Rochester, and 10% of the proceeds are donated to support Rochester Black Pride.

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion statement

ROC Pride Collective is committed to empowering ALL local LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies. We condemn all forms of discrimination and hate – especially concerning sexual orientation, gender, gender identity and expression, race, ethnicity and ability. In all of our events, we strive to create safe, open spaces where all participants can feel comfortable to be their authentic selves.

Accessibility statement

People with disabilities must be able to obtain or enjoy the same goods, activities, entertainment, services, and benefits that are available to other members of the public. The ROC Pride Collective pledges to provide information about accessibility prior to its events, and to provide accommodations for people with disabilities to the greatest extent possible.
